Tips:

  • For the best results, use a medium-sized zucchini that is about 6 inches long and 2 inches wide.
  • If you don't have a spiralizer, you can use a vegetable peeler to create long, thin strips of zucchini.
  • To make the marinade, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper in a small bowl.
  • Marinate the zucchini strips in the mixture for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight.
  • When you're ready to cook the zucchini noodles, heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the zucchini noodles and cook, stirring frequently, until they are tender and slightly browned, about 5 minutes.
  • Serve the zucchini noodles immediately, topped with your favorite sauce or toppings.

Conclusion:

Zucchini noodles are a delicious and healthy alternative to traditional pasta. They are low in calories and carbohydrates, and they are a good source of vitamins and minerals. Zucchini noodles can be used in a variety of dishes, from salads to soups to stir-fries. They are also a great way to sneak more vegetables into your diet.
